My Journey to a New Me

Well I have hit my surgical goal weight yeah.  However we have hit a snag. My cultures came back from my biopsies he did during my endoscopy and I have H-pylori. H-pylori is also know as the Helicopter virus because of the shape of the virus itself. So now I go on two weeks of anti biotic and then I will have to have another endoscopy done with more cultures taken before they can even schedule the regular surgery. This devastated me today. But it is what it is. A little more about H-pylori= Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection occurs when a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infects your stomach. This usually happens during childhood. A common cause of peptic ulcers, H. pylori infection may be present in more than half the people in the world. Most people don't realize they have H. pylori infection, because they never get sick from it. If you develop signs and symptoms of a peptic ulcer, your doctor will probably test you for H. pylori infection.

Well on August 2nd I went for a private Physical fitness training session, it went well but my M.S. was acting up so I was shaky, but I made it through the entire session. 30 mins of exercising. I don't know when the last time it was that I did full exercising, besides just walking. We did lifting weights, riding a bike, all kinds of things. She weighed me as well. I am 7 lbs away from surgery weight. Yeah me. Come to today, It was my first day of Circuit training. I hurt in places I didn't know I had muscles. I am still twitching hours later. But I am super proud of myself. I did the entire 80 mins  without quitting or needing extra breaks. I am excited to do it again, I never thought I would say that. But I will be circuit training on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's every week. The best part about it, everyone there looks like me or is on the same journey I am or have completed the journey I have. I'm considering adding 2 more days a week at the pool for strength
